What festival is August 7th?

Swedish boys' day

Lobster Festival is one of the traditional festivals in Sweden, also known as Boys' Day. From August 7th every year, men take their little boys out to sea to catch lobsters. It is hoped that through this activity, little boys all over the country will be encouraged to learn the brave spirit of lobster and cultivate children's hard work and perseverance. If they can go home with a full load, it will indicate that the little boy is smart and studious and has good luck in the year.

During the lobster festival, people will also hold various lobster parties. Colored paper and special aprons, lace tablecloths and lobster-shaped red lanterns were lit. The family sat around the dining table and tasted lobster. Adults eat lobster while drinking, and at the same time loudly praise the little boys at home, give them encouragement and hope that they will grow up healthily.
